That is a cool looking piece of furniture.
Personally, I have several watch boxes holding everything. I do not want my watches scratching each other, nor do I want bracelets ruining case backs. I realize I am anal in that regard, but I do what I can to not add additional wear and tear as a result of storage.
One day I will find a dream solution that can hold at least 50 watches while looking as good as the watches it holds.
Even the bravest of thieves thinks twice before opening my watch box.
Presently I have a 5-spot watch box, a 10-spot and a 12-spot.
I would like to eventually make or re-purpose a box to hold everything.

Make sure you show us when you get the solution.
I have been looking for years and even started a thread here to see if others found anything. At this point I will likely need to find a quality woodworker/furniture maker to craft one.
I got a 12 spot and need more room. Was thinking a 3 tear cheapy off amazon but I'm still looking for now.
nothing special but easy to pick one.

My first choice is to find a cabinet or box like @Jewbaka did and then retro fit it.
Ohh, maybe an old apothecary or card catalog?

So. I did exactly that!
Wife gifted me this apothecary she found at a local antique market. I cut out some felt to line each drawer and pillows off Amazon. Most of my watches are under 42mm so fitting two in a drawer is ok and they don't touch. 😎👍
The core collection sits in my closet shelf nestled in a suitcase with a fingerprint scanner 🔐
